Karpency vs. Dawson
On October 4, 2014 Karpency was matched up against former lineal light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson. Dawson had previously lost two consecutive bouts by stoppage against Andre Ward and Adonis Stevenson, and was attempting to rebuild his career. His most recent bout had been a first round knockout over George Blades, and Dawson was the heavy favorite coming into the fight. Karpency came in strong in the early rounds, landing strong combinations. Karpency faded a bit towards the end, allowing Dawson to land some strong jabs to keep the scorecards close. Karpency would ultimately win the ten round bout by split decision, giving him the biggest win of his career.
